Rocks on the Roof
The expansive rooftop bar at the new Bohemian Hotel is just what Savannah needed: a breezy, lipstick-red wrap-around rooftop set to an indie-cred soundtrack with lovely river views – best seen from seats on the northwest corner. There's live music Thursday to Saturday – prepare to rub elbows with the velvet rope.

Park Tavern
This microbrewery/restaurant may not be on the modster It List, but its outdoor patio on the edge of Piedmont Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Atlanta to sit back and drink away a weekend afternoon.

Octane
This industrial-hip coffeehouse near Georgia Tech's campus brews the joe of choice for severe caffeine junkies, following a 'direct trade' philosophy.

MJQ Concourse
This club inside a former underground parking garage is now all the young indie scenester rage – you enter through a small retractable garage door in what looks like an indiscreet tool shed behind a Chipotle – I mean, where else?

Manhattan Cafe
The antithesis of most downtown Athens bars, this dive is the spot to tie one on if you don't have an 8am Psych class to concern you. It's all funky lighting, mismatched reclaimed furniture and townie attitude.

Gallery Espresso
Savannah's best coffee shop; this and the Sentient are two of the South's best as well. Gallery is cozier, more conveniently located and is near-fiendish regarding its teas. There's also light fare and scrumptious desserts.

Brick Store Pub
Beer hounds geek out on Atlanta's best beer selection, with some 17 meticulously chosen draughts (so underground, they're striking oil) and a separate Belgian beer bar upstairs. In total, nearly 200 by the bottle and a cool quotient approaching exhausting.

Wetbar
In a vaguely industrial stretch of Midtown (near one of Atlanta's popular strip clubs) is Wetbar, a spot with a concrete bar and concrete floor that seem to match the neighborhood's urban grit. The tank-topped bartenders will take good care of you, and the sound system will rattle your teeth.
